Keith's POV

I stood at the counter waiting for someone to enter the shop. Business was slow today and only about three people were lounging around.

My boss, Shiro, walked behind me, carrying what looked like a new coffee machine.

"What're you doing?" I asked, watching him place the box down in a heap.

"Replacing this old machine. Hunk keeps complaining about the way it operates."

"Oh." I mumble and turn back around.

Hunk was my coworker. He was the best cook and coffee barista I knew. So if he said the machine was broken, he probably wasn't wrong.

"Where is Hunk anyway?" I ask and looked over my shoulder, noticing that he wasn't around.

"Restocking some food in the back. He should be up here with you soon." Shiro replied and walked back by me, the box and old machine in his arms.

Placing my chin in my hand, I sigh. I was completely bored, but my shift didn't end for another 30 minutes.

The next 25 minutes seemed to go on and on, hearing the lazy ticking of the clock on the wall across the shop.

I decided to just try and leave. Nothing was happening anyways- so why not?

"Shiro can I just leave now? No one is coming and we've barely had any business to-"

I stopped mid-sentence, noticing a boy that had just walked in.

He had chocolate brown hair and sapphire eyes. He had on a green coat with a white hood and a light grey and blue baseball tee underneath. Honestly, it was a bit hard not to stare.

"What, Keith?" Shiro asked from the other end of the counter where the sink was, raising an eyebrow in my direction.

"N-nothing." I murmured and turned back around fully, biting my lip a small bit.

"Hi!" The boy bounced up to the counter.

I gave him a quick wave and tried to avert my eyes to anywhere but him.

"A tall blonde roast please." He ordered politely, seeming to be bouncing on his toes again..

I picked up the small cup from next to me and grabbed a sharpie, sighing softly.

"Name?" I asked, looking up at him quickly and then looking back down as soon as we made eye contact.

"Lance." He smiled, tilting his head happily..

My hand was shaking, but I managed to write his name down on the cup.

I handed it to Hunk, who had come back a few moments ago, and he got to work.

"$3.50 please." I said and opened up the cash register.

He handed me four singles.

I put his money in the register and grabbed 50 cents for his change just as Hunk came back over and slid the cup towards Lance.

I dropped the money in his hand and proceeded to close the register.

He picked up his drink and dropped his change into the tip jar.

"Thanks." He playfully winked at me and walked away.

I didn't say anything, I just watched him walk out. I could feel myself blushing.

"Someone's in loooove." Hunk sang over my shoulder.

"Wh-" I snapped out of my daze. "Am not!" I defended myself.

"Yeah sure, Keith. Tell that to your bright red cheeks." Hunk smirked.

"Ah leave him alone, Hunk. If he thinks someone is cute, he's entitled to his own opinion." Shiro scolded as he walked past.

"Oh so you think he's cute, huh?" Hunk raised an eyebrow and leaned on the counter.

"Will you just lay off?" I shot him a look.

"Oh calm down I'm just teasin'." Hunk chuckled.

I took my phone out of my pocket and looked at the time.

"Thank God." I mumbled. My shift was over.

I walked to the break room and took off my apron. I grabbed my red jacket and swung it on.

I walked back out past Shiro and Hunk, who were talking by where I was just standing by the register.

"Bye guys." I waved quickly and trudged out.

Lance. I thought to myself as I walked out.

He is cute.
